How old are you? I'm technically young, but then I think about future generations... and I feel like an old man. I'm afraid of being on the brink of immortality and not making it, because by the time transhumanism and aging cures come along, I will be at a dangerous age. In the meantime, others will be in their twenties and will have plenty to spare...

I'm pretty sure we're well within the range of time where we'll see either civilizational collapse or singularity, provided you can tough it out for another few decades.

Excited for either. I either live out my dystopian fantasies or utopian.

i'm 33 (born in '89), so 13 years older than you. to be completely honest, even though i subscribe and like the general optimism of this sub, i feel exactly the same as you. i don't think world changing technology like anti-ageing therapies and such will be available for another hundred years at minimum. but hey, i'm only here to periodically see if i'm wrong... so here's hoping 🍻
